Apology of Socrates (Xenophon)

Socrates

A short version of the trial that dwells on the "lofty speech" (megalegoria) of Socrates' defence and explains it: he had decided it was better to die than to endure old age, and his divine sign had not opposed it. It differs from Plato's Apology in tone and several details, and is essential for the Socratic problem.
